For a tutorial you would be better getting Andreis book http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/programming/d/9780321659538 This gives you a good grounding, and more, of the D 2.0 language. A book about Phobos won't be forthcoming for a while yet until the library is fully realized (I fell into that trap with Tango + D1 :-) ). -=mike=-
